Hi Sibyl: Welcome to the no S forum!!!! I am embarrassed to say that I have never been to Canada.

Hi There Lyn:

I just love fuzzy pink slippers. I haven't had any real ones since I was a kid. LOL

Welcome to this group. You can do this. It is simple. I am on day 16 and it's the longest I've lasted on anything because I know that I'm not "giving up" stuff for life.

Best of luck.
